question:My 6 year old daughter keeps complaining of headahces, ear pain and beeping noises in her ear. We ve been to her pediatrician several times over the last 2 months and he keeps putting her on antibiotics and dimetapp. She has had an ear infection once or twice during this timeframe and has had water in her ears a few times....just last week we went back to her pediatrician and yet again was told she had an ear infection minus puss...just fluid. She s been on antibiotics for 7 days now and today the school nurse called because she was complaining of pain.
answer:You need to consult ENT specialist. ENT specialist will do detailed examination of ear, nasopharynx by various scopes and will determine the exact source of infection. There may be perforation in the ear drum or the eustachian tube may be blocked or there may be some glue like discharge in middle ear which is responsible for such complaints.
question:Hello Doctor, My 4 year old daughter is sufferring from cold and she couldn't able to breath properly during night time. Doctor adviced me to give Asthalin /nebulisation . Is it safe to give.. Please provide your advice..Thyank You Regards, Ananthi Ramesh California, US
answer:Asthalin nebulization is much safer than oral Asthalin in children.During nebulization medicine directly reaches the target i.e. lungs and bronchioles, thus maximising the effectiveness and minimising the dose and adverse effects on other organs of body.While if Asthslin is given orally it gets absorbed in blood from GIT, it reaches all the organs of the body rather than reaching only the lungs and therefore it's adverse effects like increased heart rate, tremors etc are seen, further it's less effective and much higher dose is required.
question:Sir,My Son is 8 month old but his body is very loose and weeping like Mently Problem.I have consulted child specialist and he reply that this is a C.P. Case.after two month treatment no improvement.So I would like your suggestion on this. Thanking You Mohd.Abdullah from Mau.
answer:Probably your son is suffering from Cerebral Palsy (CP) with intellectual disabilities. Severity, disabilities and associated problems in Cerebral Palsy vary from case to case.Cerebral Palsy is a permanent disorder and there is no cure as such. However physical therapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy etc. (multidisciplinary approach) may maximize patient's independence.
question:I suddenly got a sharp almost electric shock like pain at both sides of the area around my stomach and appendix (where love handles should be) and a litle bit at the back part of both sides too. It felt like something with nerves maybe? My mother said it was because i ve been sitting for a few hours and i was on the computer too much. It repeated twice and i suddenly also couldn t breathe but maybe that part was because of fear.
answer:Hi and welcomet to HCM, It can be neuropathic pain due to abdominall wall or spine nerves impact. But also it sounds like ureteral or gallbladder colic which can be felt on this side too. If you feel it again you should do abdominal ultrasounds to rule out some intraabdominal pathology or inflammation. This kind of pain is often experienced and it shouldnt worry you if this last for second and doesnt repeat. WIsh you good health.
question:My daughter is 10 and I believe is going thru a major growth spurt. She has come down with something (virus, fatigue, etc.) almost every two weeks this entire school year. Are immunities down during these high growing periods or do you think I should have some labs done to make sure everything is allright?
answer:Growth spurts require increased calorie, protein and nutrients intake. However unless the nutritional deficiency is severe immunity is not affected. Probably your daughter is repeatedly getting exposed to infections or getting exposed to some allergens resulting in cough, fever, runny nose etc or probably some infection like chronic sinusitis resulting in fever.Consult your doctor and get detailed clinical examination done.

answer:hello,welcome to healthcare magic.I am Dr Nirav.I have gone through your son's history about attention deficit.You should ask your son about his interest.You should teach him more practical things.Like teaching any subject into a story with real life examples.That will gain his interest in the subject.If still he is not taking interest in the subject than check for attention deficit disorder with help of psychiatry doctor.Have a good day.
